I ran a UNIX command on a couple of test machines to delete a folder
from the user's desktop. The command went a little something like this:
rmdir Desktop/name_of_folder
and it was run as the current logged in user. The "current logged in
user" as stated is a standard user and does not have admin rights of
any kind. I ran the script and the result from ARD was that it failed
to perform the command. When I next tried to connect to the two
computers, I find that not only is access denied, but the usr and etc
folders (to name a few) are gone. After writing this, I'm thinking
that the command should have said:
rmdir ~/Desktop/name_of_folder
But what still puzzles me is even if the command was wrong or the
folder not found, how does running a rmdir as a non-admin user able
to freely delete folders such as usr? Lucky for me, these were test
machines. I just wanted to see if I could run a UNIX command on more
than one computer with user specific qualities.
Thanks,
Kim
